Summary of the contracting process

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) procured car price data based on vehicle registration information. The requirement covers values and prices, including lower-level breakdowns of car prices, for the ONS’s statistical work. This is a data service rather than a purchase of vehicles or general automotive services. The contract’s delivery location is the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. CAP HPI Limited was awarded the contract, which was signed on 29 September 2026. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. Its value is £80,000 excluding VAT (£96,000 including VAT). The procurement was below the applicable threshold; the recorded method detail describes it as “below threshold” without identifying a more specific procedure. It was structured as one lot, and that lot is complete. No evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement information.

This award demonstrates ONS demand for granular car price and value data derived from vehicle registration records. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this kind would need access to reliable registration-based automotive pricing data and the ability to provide price information at detailed breakdown levels, rather than headline averages alone. They would also need to deliver the data as a dependable specialist data service for a central government statistics buyer. The selected supplier, CAP HPI Limited, is a large company, indicating that a substantial data capability was used for this contract; the procurement information does not establish that only suppliers of this size could perform the work.
